Black Bolt Master Set Checklist & Cost

Variants in the Black Bolt master set

The slots in the Black Bolt master set come from a handful of families. Plain Holo is the largest at 103, followed by Reverse Holo and Reverse Holo Foil Pokeball at 80 each, Reverse Holo Foil Masterball at 72 and Normal at 70. Reverse holo versions are carried by the common, uncommon and rare cards, which is why those three reverse holo families stack up so quickly. Two single-slot special prints round it out, a Holo Foil Cosmos Set Logo stamp and a Holo Foil Tinsel version, each of which is its own slot in the binder.

Where the Black Bolt master set's cost sits

The Black Bolt master set cost is concentrated at the top. As of October 24, 2026, 406 of the 407 slots carry a price, and the ten most valuable slots hold 48 percent of the total. By finish, holos account for 78 percent of the value and reverse holos for 21 percent, which leaves little for normal prints. The lower-value half of the priced slots holds just 1 percent of the total, so most of the checklist adds slots without adding much cost. Condition matters more in the lower grades: the LP and up total sits 5 percent below Near Mint, while the MP and up total sits 22 percent below.

Hardest Black Bolt master set slots

The slots that decide whether the Black Bolt master set gets finished are the holo Victini and the holo Zekrom ex, both Black White Rare, followed by the Special illustration rare Zekrom ex, the Illustration rare Seismitoad and the Special illustration rare Kyurem ex. Together these five hold 41 percent of the master set's total value. All five are the holo print of their card, so none of them is a surprise variant. The difficulty here comes from the rarest tiers of the set, and the cost of the master set rests on them.
